1
00:01:40,310 --> 00:01:37,490
good morning Columbia and we hope

2
00:01:43,090 --> 00:01:40,320
winston appreciated the fight song from

3
00:01:46,190 --> 00:01:43,100
his alma mater Florida State

4
00:01:47,990 --> 00:01:46,200
good morning from Columbia I can't think

5
00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:48,000
of a better way to start today that

6
00:01:51,950 --> 00:01:49,890
hearing the the Florida State fight

7
00:01:59,630 --> 00:01:51,960
softly good morning to everybody and

8
00:02:01,300 --> 00:01:59,640
godo how was your Thanksgiving it was

9
00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:01,310
great we had a lot to be thankful for

10
00:02:06,139 --> 00:02:03,810
for a successful mission for the most

11
00:02:07,820 --> 00:02:06,149
part especially the capture and of

12
00:02:12,110 --> 00:02:07,830
course we did have our traditional

13
00:02:14,690 --> 00:02:12,120
turkey dinner talking about the capture

14
00:02:16,550 --> 00:02:14,700
wrestling a satellite beams to the

15
00:02:19,699 --> 00:02:16,560
layman on earth to be such a simple

16
00:02:22,190 --> 00:02:19,709
thing in zero gravity but it's really a

17
00:02:23,539 --> 00:02:22,200
complicated procedure there to grab

18
00:02:30,740 --> 00:02:23,549
something even in a weightless

19
00:02:32,390 --> 00:02:30,750
environment about a trivial event that

20
00:02:34,729 --> 00:02:32,400
far the leg is several thousand pounds

21
00:02:37,130 --> 00:02:34,739
is weight as much as most automobiles

22
00:02:38,690 --> 00:02:37,140
and yes spacesuits themselves of course

23
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:38,700
are very bulky so not only do you have

24
00:02:42,319 --> 00:02:40,530
to fight the suit but you get to I'll be

25
00:02:44,390 --> 00:02:42,329
very careful as to how you handle that

26
00:03:05,509 --> 00:02:44,400
massive satellite you could go out of

27
00:03:08,420 --> 00:03:05,519
control on you and that its ability is

28
00:03:11,330 --> 00:03:08,430
the grand-am of the fleet and she is

29
00:03:13,910 --> 00:03:11,340
really applying flawlessly the folks

30
00:03:16,340 --> 00:03:13,920
Kennedy Space Center and have Buster sir

31
00:03:20,599 --> 00:03:16,350
it turned her around give us a really

32
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:20,609
clean bird and she's doing just fine now

33
00:03:24,710 --> 00:03:22,530
you onboard have an experiment from

34
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:24,720
Philips laboratory here in Albuquerque

35
00:03:33,140 --> 00:03:26,730
the sodium sulfur battery flight to

36
00:03:35,270 --> 00:03:33,150
Paris develop what it is not going yes

37
00:03:36,860 --> 00:03:35,280
the nasbe as we call it was sodium

38
00:03:39,379 --> 00:03:36,870
sulfur battery experiment you're right

39
00:03:42,949 --> 00:03:39,389
isn't the payload bay and it's a

40
00:03:45,740 --> 00:03:42,959
spearmint that that is testing how well

41
00:03:47,300 --> 00:03:45,750
a different type of battery using sodium

42
00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:47,310
itself is going to work

43
00:03:52,430 --> 00:03:49,650
to pay packages back it's about three

44
00:03:54,110 --> 00:03:52,440
times the electrical unity that we can

45
00:03:56,470 --> 00:03:54,120
get from a comparable battery of that

46
00:03:58,220 --> 00:03:56,480
size using traditional chemicals the

47
00:04:00,050 --> 00:03:58,230
baptism working real well

48
00:04:02,510 --> 00:04:00,060
it went with startup procedures see the

49
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:02,520
procedure we've had a couple of charging

50
00:04:06,290 --> 00:04:04,410
cycles a couple of discharge cycles and

51
00:04:09,070 --> 00:04:06,300
the Schloss working real well that has a

52
00:04:11,059 --> 00:04:09,080
great potential for use on Space Station

53
00:04:12,670 --> 00:04:11,069
Baptist God I'm sure the folks at

54
00:04:15,770 --> 00:04:12,680
Philips would be glad to hear that

55
00:04:19,190 --> 00:04:15,780
doctor to cowboy you were the first

56
00:04:21,650 --> 00:04:19,200
Japanese astronaut to walk in space and

57
00:04:24,260 --> 00:04:21,660
obviously this was a an incredible event

58
00:04:25,879 --> 00:04:24,270
for you and your country what was it

59
00:04:32,210 --> 00:04:25,889
like to actually float outside the

60
00:04:39,070 --> 00:04:32,220
spacecraft final experience I was very

61
00:04:45,980 --> 00:04:39,080
excited about to just settle this time

62
00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:45,990
we it was also spectacular I am really

63
00:04:53,210 --> 00:04:49,650
happy that we could have this kind of

64
00:04:54,890 --> 00:04:53,220
great experience of course there's a lot

65
00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:54,900
of kids out there who are watching and

66
00:04:58,010 --> 00:04:56,610
spaceflight is such a fascinating thing

67
00:05:00,080 --> 00:04:58,020
for kids of all ages

68
00:05:01,820 --> 00:05:00,090
what would your recommendations be to

69
00:05:04,580 --> 00:05:01,830
kids out there on what they should focus

70
00:05:06,650 --> 00:05:04,590
on if they want to study to be an

71
00:05:09,969 --> 00:05:06,660
astronaut what should be the top subject

72
00:05:18,340 --> 00:05:14,779
well since I was a kid I liked watching

73
00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:18,350
sports and just I I have been pursuing

74
00:05:25,129 --> 00:05:20,970
what you start and studying the universe

75
00:05:28,550 --> 00:05:25,139
and my dream is evident just exploring

76
00:05:28,940 --> 00:05:28,560
the universe and the door about outer

77
00:05:33,290 --> 00:05:28,950
space

78
00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:33,300
I'm just passing my dream the most

79
00:05:40,730 --> 00:05:36,690
important thing I can tell too many many

80
00:05:44,330 --> 00:05:40,740
other people's that I just cover your

81
00:05:46,370 --> 00:05:44,340
own dream and pursue it and this is a

82
00:05:50,650 --> 00:05:46,380
microgravity experiment very quickly

83
00:05:56,390 --> 00:05:54,260
right now we are conducting the material

84
00:05:59,590 --> 00:05:56,400
science experiment

85
00:06:03,100 --> 00:05:59,600
so in the mid take in a player to be

86
00:06:19,730 --> 00:06:03,110
especially today we are going to

87
00:06:24,159 --> 00:06:19,740
experience which may give us very high

88
00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:24,169
quality crystal which can be used for

89
00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:28,250
computers many other electronics yes I

90
00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:30,210
understand they're making the decision

91
00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:32,490
on Monday whether or not to let Spartan

92
00:06:35,570 --> 00:06:34,410
free again but some of the wire stories

93
00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:35,580
we're hearing is that the Space Shuttle

94
00:06:39,860 --> 00:06:37,770
is going to have to backup 30 or 40

95
00:06:41,810 --> 00:06:39,870
miles to give it some room to do its

96
00:06:46,129 --> 00:06:41,820
thing what is that all about can you

97
00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:46,139
explain that simply to us well very

98
00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:48,810
simply at when we release the satellite

99
00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:50,970
we go into what a station keep boat is

100
00:06:58,129 --> 00:06:54,330
we just use normal orbital mechanics let

101
00:07:00,290 --> 00:06:58,139
us drift slowly 30 40 miles away and

102
00:07:02,930 --> 00:07:00,300
that gets us in a position where we

103
00:07:04,700 --> 00:07:02,940
won't flicked in subsequent orbits with

104
00:07:06,890 --> 00:07:04,710
the sport and also we're close enough

105
00:07:10,850 --> 00:07:06,900
that way it's time to retreat it we can

106
00:07:13,190 --> 00:07:10,860
do that in a very efficient manner I did

107
00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:13,200
a story just this week in Palmdale where

108
00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:14,970
they're refurbishing another space

109
00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:17,130
shuttle Atlantis and I think I know

110
00:07:20,210 --> 00:07:18,330
where you guys are right now I think

111
00:07:21,469 --> 00:07:20,220
you're at the flight deck if I'm not

112
00:07:22,909 --> 00:07:21,479
sure can you just tell me where you are

113
00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:22,919
and show me something behind you and

114
00:07:30,170 --> 00:07:26,490
give us a little quick tour sure we are

115
00:07:33,670 --> 00:07:30,180
the flight deck right behind Winston is

116
00:07:37,100 --> 00:07:33,680
the pilots peak where Steve Lindsey sits

117
00:07:40,430 --> 00:07:37,110
where Takano is is the center console

118
00:07:42,170 --> 00:07:40,440
and that is looking right at the the

119
00:07:46,670 --> 00:07:42,180
flight deck and the commander seats off

120
00:07:48,830 --> 00:07:46,680
to the left back out the aft here is our

121
00:07:50,629 --> 00:07:48,840
two windows where we can see out through

122
00:07:52,939 --> 00:07:50,639
the tail and we happen to be belly to

123
00:07:55,610 --> 00:07:52,949
the earth so we can look down way

124
00:07:57,620 --> 00:07:55,620
through these overhead windows and look

125
00:08:00,800 --> 00:07:57,630
out and see those and we're passing over

126
00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:00,810
the Pacific Ocean at this time captain

127
00:08:04,279 --> 00:08:02,610
Scott one of the things that I noticed

128
00:08:06,409 --> 00:08:04,289
was how cramped the quarters are in

129
00:08:08,779 --> 00:08:06,419
there can you tell me a little bit about

130
00:08:09,860 --> 00:08:08,789
how weightlessness makes it not quite as

131
00:08:13,580 --> 00:08:09,870
crammed as it would be

132
00:08:15,410 --> 00:08:13,590
on earth wanted here as you can imagine

133
00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:15,420
weightlessness does just that because

134
00:08:19,790 --> 00:08:17,490
not only do you use the normal space

135
00:08:21,950 --> 00:08:19,800
that you use on earth but you use all

136
00:08:24,170 --> 00:08:21,960
the space in the overhead when we

137
00:08:26,690 --> 00:08:24,180
translate for example it's very easy to

138
00:08:29,210 --> 00:08:26,700
just go over a crewmembers head or go

139
00:08:33,020 --> 00:08:29,220
float along the floor on a crewmembers

140
00:08:35,060 --> 00:08:33,030
feet we really do use all all of the

141
00:08:37,940 --> 00:08:35,070
volume available to us and not just a

142
00:08:42,770 --> 00:08:37,950
portion that we would use on earth how

143
00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:42,780
do you sleep what position and this this

144
00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:44,850
particular flight we have sleep stations

145
00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:47,130
and the three stations are horizontally

146
00:08:52,220 --> 00:08:50,370
oriented compartment inside those three

147
00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:52,230
phases a sleeping bag before the stop

148
00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:53,730
ourselves in the sleeping bags to keep

149
00:08:58,940 --> 00:08:56,610
from floating away and we literally trip

150
00:09:01,580 --> 00:08:58,950
about inside those sleeping bags or

151
00:09:03,170 --> 00:09:01,590
missions with no sleep stations each

152
00:09:05,090 --> 00:09:03,180
team member will strap his or her

153
00:09:07,100 --> 00:09:05,100
sleeping bag wherever they want it and

154
00:09:09,170 --> 00:09:07,110
they sleep that way you can sleep upside

155
00:09:11,300 --> 00:09:09,180
down sideways backwards forwards there

156
00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:11,310
is no upper delegates face they were

157
00:09:15,410 --> 00:09:12,930
afraid at first but when you get used to

158
00:09:18,380 --> 00:09:15,420
this kind of fun that's great

159
00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:18,390
mission specialist joy I know even you

160
00:09:22,610 --> 00:09:20,490
trained a lot before you actually go up

161
00:09:23,990 --> 00:09:22,620
and you know what to expect but what was

162
00:09:26,180 --> 00:09:24,000
the most surprising thing once you

163
00:09:28,100 --> 00:09:26,190
actually went on the mission and and the

164
00:09:57,530 --> 00:09:28,110
thing that you that went as planned I

165
00:10:00,830 --> 00:09:57,540
guess right and it was this amazing

166
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:00,840
experience I have just little time left

167
00:10:03,470 --> 00:10:02,010
I'd like to go back to the commander

168
00:10:05,300 --> 00:10:03,480
kragle just for a second if I could

169
00:10:07,730 --> 00:10:05,310
commander I know you guys can't be

170
00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:07,740
possibly working 24 hours a day is there

171
00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:09,810
any free time at all and if so what do

172
00:10:16,700 --> 00:10:11,250
you guys do with your free time up there

173
00:10:19,970 --> 00:10:16,710
oh we works really hard but we do get

174
00:10:22,220 --> 00:10:19,980
that big time from time to time and the

175
00:10:23,430 --> 00:10:22,230
number one last time for everyone is to

176
00:10:26,220 --> 00:10:23,440
look out the window

177
00:10:28,530 --> 00:10:26,230
I can exercise and you can read a book

178
00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:28,540
but you can do that on earth you can't

179
00:10:33,390 --> 00:10:30,610
look out the window and get such a

180
00:10:37,500 --> 00:10:33,400
spectacular view anyplace but here I

181
00:10:40,650 --> 00:10:37,510
think that's the pastime of choice is it

182
00:10:42,900 --> 00:10:40,660
hard not to think of philosophy and

183
00:10:44,100 --> 00:10:42,910
religion and all those kinds of things I

184
00:10:48,870 --> 00:10:44,110
guess when you're in a position to where

185
00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:48,880
you folks are I would say it's a very

186
00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:52,210
humbling position and I think all folks

187
00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:53,890
get very introspective when they're up

188
00:11:00,120 --> 00:10:56,050
here I just looking at this speck

189
00:11:02,700 --> 00:11:00,130
there's a blue planet go beneath us

190
00:11:04,110 --> 00:11:02,710
folks down here on earth were watching

191
00:11:06,330 --> 00:11:04,120
with great interest when two of you grab

192
00:11:07,980 --> 00:11:06,340
that Aaron satellite not quite with your

193
00:11:09,990 --> 00:11:07,990
bare hands but close enough I guess

194
00:11:11,370 --> 00:11:10,000
captain Scott you told reporters last

195
00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:11,380
Saturday night you believe this could be

196
00:11:14,250 --> 00:11:12,730
done even though I understand it's been

197
00:11:41,730 --> 00:11:14,260
like five years since the last time

198
00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:41,740
somebody was behind that really will be

199
00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:45,250
a thing that boosted my carpets you've

200
00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:47,170
made a number of spacewalks before I

201
00:11:50,850 --> 00:11:49,090
know how do they prepare you for this

202
00:11:55,470 --> 00:11:50,860
particular maneuver you're grabbing a

203
00:11:57,240 --> 00:11:55,480
satellite of course you can't predict

204
00:11:59,460 --> 00:11:57,250
every single maneuver that's going to

205
00:12:01,680 --> 00:11:59,470
happen we claim the best we can we had

206
00:12:03,990 --> 00:12:01,690
practice for grabbing a satellite but

207
00:12:07,500 --> 00:12:04,000
never a grabbing one that was rotating

208
00:12:09,180 --> 00:12:07,510
in this fashion and again we we looked

209
00:12:10,560 --> 00:12:09,190
at the events as they occurred made the

210
00:12:12,290 --> 00:12:10,570
best decision we could unfortunately

211
00:12:15,450 --> 00:12:12,300
everything worked out real well for us

212
00:12:17,780 --> 00:12:15,460
and like a giant fire rolling football

213
00:12:20,579 --> 00:12:17,790
is that right trying to catch that

214
00:12:23,490 --> 00:12:20,589
doctor doy now you work for Japan's

215
00:12:30,269 --> 00:12:23,500
nazhde is Japan working toward its own

216
00:12:43,110 --> 00:12:32,460
right now we are working very closely

217
00:12:47,189 --> 00:12:43,120
with Japan is working on the

218
00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:47,199
presentation program and will Japanese

219
00:12:54,900 --> 00:12:53,050
experiment module let me move on to

220
00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:54,910
Commander Freegal working with an

221
00:13:03,420 --> 00:12:56,290
international crew is certainly nothing

222
00:13:05,819 --> 00:13:03,430
new for you is it folks the office yeah

223
00:13:08,489 --> 00:13:05,829
my last mission of sports done to work

224
00:13:11,549 --> 00:13:08,499
with a freshman jean-jacques ba ba

225
00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:11,559
a Canadian Bob first then a to backup

226
00:13:15,470 --> 00:13:13,930
Pedro to case from Spain and Luca Oh

227
00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:15,480
Bonnie from Italy

228
00:13:20,579 --> 00:13:18,610
commander Fingal in what ways is your

229
00:13:22,439 --> 00:13:20,589
experience in space enriched by an

230
00:13:23,429 --> 00:13:22,449
international crew and in what ways is

231
00:13:28,410 --> 00:13:23,439
it complicated

232
00:13:30,749 --> 00:13:28,420
I think it's complicated at all it's

233
00:13:32,699 --> 00:13:30,759
just some challenges learning the

234
00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:32,709
different cultures and and get the

235
00:13:36,900 --> 00:13:35,410
common language but I think it's

236
00:13:39,540 --> 00:13:36,910
enriched as we bring the different

237
00:13:41,730 --> 00:13:39,550
cultures together because when you bring

238
00:13:44,879 --> 00:13:41,740
different cultures you know each other a

239
00:13:46,470 --> 00:13:44,889
lot of this stress goes away and a lot

240
00:13:49,740 --> 00:13:46,480
of harmony comes out of it so I think

241
00:13:52,199 --> 00:13:49,750
working in an international crew really

242
00:13:53,749 --> 00:13:52,209
shows the way of how the world should be

243
00:13:55,980 --> 00:13:53,759
in the future

244
00:13:58,259 --> 00:13:55,990
gentlemen I guess this is a question for

245
00:13:59,670 --> 00:13:58,269
for all or any of you when when did you

246
00:14:08,269 --> 00:13:59,680
first know you wanted to be an out of

247
00:14:11,069 --> 00:14:08,279
state this is what I wanted to do when I

248
00:14:13,860 --> 00:14:11,079
saw the folks during the immersive a

249
00:14:16,199 --> 00:14:13,870
Gemini and Apollo years it's that guys

250
00:14:18,540 --> 00:14:16,209
were walking on the moon and exploring

251
00:14:20,579 --> 00:14:18,550
the universe I said that's something I'd

252
00:14:26,429 --> 00:14:20,589
like to do I'd like to go to the minute

253
00:14:31,829 --> 00:14:26,439
of the Mars yard I walk in the Mercury

254
00:14:33,449 --> 00:14:31,839
program it was like to do it but I never

255
00:14:34,079 --> 00:14:33,459
had any inkling like it would come true

256
00:14:36,540 --> 00:14:34,089
for me

257
00:14:40,249 --> 00:14:36,550
fortunately things did work out well and

258
00:14:43,050 --> 00:14:40,259
I am and in addition to that I like to

259
00:14:45,450 --> 00:14:43,060
to say that if I can't

260
00:14:47,130 --> 00:14:45,460
an image or a role model to other

261
00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:47,140
pathologies who might get sick of the

262
00:14:51,030 --> 00:14:48,610
program they certainly take that

263
00:14:52,140 --> 00:14:51,040
responsibility very seriously but yeah

264
00:14:58,500 --> 00:14:52,150
I'm very happy to be a part of the

265
00:15:03,110 --> 00:14:58,510
program when I was 14 years old I

266
00:15:08,670 --> 00:15:03,120
started to the stores and at the time
